"Design for an Elaborate Covered Salt Cellar by Jacopo Strada" is a Renaissance-era drawing attributed to the Italian artist and designer Jacopo Strada (1507–1588). Strada was a polymath who worked as an architect, goldsmith, and antiquary, and served as the court antiquarian and architect to the Holy Roman Emperor, Maximilian II. The drawing is believed to be a design for a kunstkammer, or cabinet of curiosities, object, showcasing the opulence and intricate craftsmanship characteristic of the period.

The design illustrates a covered salt cellar, which was an important and symbolic table accessory during the Renaissance. Salt cellars of this era were often elaborate and ornate, reflecting the wealth and status of their owners. They were typically placed at the head of the table, near the host, as salt was a valuable commodity. The drawing by Strada likely represents a conceptualization of such a piece, intended to be executed in precious materials such as gold, silver, and possibly adorned with jewels.

The drawing is notable for its intricate details and the skillful representation of the proposed materials and textures. It provides insight into the design process of the time and the luxurious objects that were commissioned by the elite. The work is also significant as it contributes to the understanding of Strada's oeuvre and the broader context of Renaissance art and design.

While the actual execution of this particular salt cellar design is not documented, the drawing remains a testament to the high level of artistry and craftsmanship in the decorative arts during the 16th century. It is an important piece for scholars studying the history of design, material culture, and the social significance of dining and tableware in the Renaissance.
